[ID] please on a native I collected.

[Josh]

I collected this tree several weeks ago. It had a good rootball of really fine feeder roots and hasn't missed a beat since collecting. It's only been a couple of weeks but is pushing new growth already. Can anyone tell me what it is please.

I think I'll go a largish wind/water swept on this one once it recovers.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Josh, possibly Agonis or Lepto , ??

[Boics]

Looks like some sort of leptospermum to me.

[Josh]

Yeah I had thought a Lepto with the leaves. When crushed there is no distinctive smell though.

Thanks guys, Still not real sure
Josh

Definitely not an Agonis. Could be either Ti Tree on Melaleuca. The bark and the lack of distinctive smell would suggest Mela. but it could easily be a Ti Tree.

Going on the seed head I reckon Leptospermum . Going on the leaf , bark and height description maybe Leptospermum grandifolium, common name Mountain Tea-tree .

[deejay335]

the shape of the leaf and the seed have me leaning towards a lepto as well

[shibui]

Seed pod says Leptospermum but unable to tell the species at this stage. Where it came from might help narrow the possibilities - If it is from a garden there are relatively few species generally sold and if it is a natural (bush) collection the general location would probably narrow down the possibilities to just a few.

Isn't it great that many natives transplanted in this heat just keep on growing as if nothing has happened!

Hey Sno, mine seem to be a more pointed leaf than the picture I saw of Leptospermum grandifolium.

Thanks Shibui, I am convinced it's a lepto of some kind. This tree was collected from a garden in Melbourne. I have not seen it flower so have no idea. Maybe I'll have to wait till it flowers and repost. This tree has not missed a beat. It amazes me what we can do to trees and they just keep going. I have always said you will kill a tree with kindness before neglect. This tree never even sulked the day I pulled it out. Makes me temped to start working on it bugger, that patience thing again

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Hi josh . After looking at the Leptospermum grandifolium growing here , its definitely not yours ,the bark is different . Maybe look at Leptospermum brevipes the Slender tea-tree .
Cheers craig
